This is Jack Johnson^Òs "Flake" live solo acoustic version
on KROQ's private concert. This is my first time transcribing
a song, so sorry if I didn^Òt include any lyrics. I am 100 %
percent sure the chords, progressions, and song structure
are all correct.

Dm (5th): x 5  7  7 6 5

|o x oooo x |o x oooo x |
